Rockford Prepares to Say Goodbye. It’s the McRib ‘Farewell Tour’
Apparently it's the end of the road for a McDonalds "classic," the McRib is preparing for its FAREWELL TOUR. WIFR
The sandwich comes with seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and dill pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun. - WIFR
I dig it, I like it...I've had a few. I'm going to indulge during this last run for sure...But IS IT the last run?
Allow me to wonder out loud about the McRib...Is this "Farewell Tour" that begins on October 31st similar to the "Farewell Tour" put on by KISS or Motley Crue???
KISS had a Farewell Tour once, but returned for multiple tours and are now on a Farewell Tour that will end in 2023. Could the McRib be back "by popular demand" in a few years? Also, does Gene Simmons of KISS like the McRib, I'm saying yes.
So what about Motley Crue vs. McRib...So Nikki Sixx and the others publicly signed a contract saying they were done. It's over, no more...But this last summer I saw them, so...Will the McRib sign a contract? Will Ronald McDonald or whomever, throw down a signature to say "goodbye?"
Here's the official quote(s) from McDonalds:
“Get one while you can” and “enjoy our famous pork sandwich as if it’s your last!” - McDonalds
October 31st it could be your last shot at the McRib, Rockford...enjoy. Then let's see if the people can talk the McRib out of retirement. :)
